What does this poem make you think of?

[naomi 350]

When the last living thing

has died on account of us,

how poetical it would be

if Earth could say,

in a voice floating up

perhaps

from the floor

of the Grand Canyon,

'It is done."

People did not like it here.

Is this a poll?

Is this a poll?

 

Thought about actually making it one, but decided a tally wasn't really neccesary.

[hoytdwow 202]

It makes me think of anal

[Groundhog 24]

It makes me think of Christy Canyon.

 

[pimptastic69 0]

It makes me think about how much poetry sucks.

 

[Bert 1,110]

It made me think of beer and the huge rack on the lady I saw at lunch.

can size please...calling them "huge" is unacceptorable

[naomi 350]

...lots of 'others.'

[wiffleball 4,688]

Wow. That REALLY made me think. When I got done reading -and re-reading that, I couldn't help but stop and think:

 

 

"Is "poetical" a real word?"

[Voice_Of_Reason 0]

I've been to the grand canyon. I did not like it there myself. It was frigin HOT!

 

 

 

Also....

 

 

did you write that while nekkid?

[wiffleball 4,688]

Probably just the standard 12 oz can size I imagine. Though I'm pretty sure he prefers bottled beer.

It was just a half rack of baby back ribs.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote it, and I hope he wasn't.

[Groundhog 24]

nice, although I guess floppage could be a concern.

[cmh6476 778]

[Voice_Of_Reason 0]

Kurt Vonnegut wrote it, and I hope he wasn't.

but were you when you typed it on your PC.

 

That would go a long way to determining my feelings.

[dolfan06 1]

It made me think of the scene in Matrix Revolutions where Neo holds up his end of the bargain by getting rid of Smith so the mainframe says "it is done"

[wiffleball 4,688]

nice, although I guess floppage could be a concern.

 

 

Not for Bert. A 4 foot pair of danglers on a 3 foot dwarf would still be a turn-on.

We call her trippy!

[parrot 789]

It made me think if the Earth magically talks at the Grand Canyon and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? Chew on that one for a while.

[dolfan06 1]

If the Earth was going to speak, why would it speak from the Grand Canyon? Seems pretty Americentric to me.

[parrot 789]

We're just fleas to the Earth. I would think it would be to be rid of us.

[Yer mom 2]

 

from the floor

of the Grand Canyon,

 

 

 

First off, id still be alive cause im so special that my mom feels the need to remind me every day. Then id tell that little gopher hole to gimme my damn Laker hat back that flew into his mouth on a cross country trip back in 89.

 

Punk ass Grand Canyon

That thought went through my mind too, but the Grand Canyon stands out. It's not the deepest canyon but I think it's the biggest hole in the earth that really looks like a hole. Other canyons that go deeper look like earthy green basins. Pick any place on earth for the earth to 'speak up' from within itself...the author probably doesn't need to be American for the Grand Canyon to come to mind.

The park people there say whatever you do don't try to hike down and back up in one day. My dad and I got down to about 1,000 feet above the river during late July and hiked back up. We didn't have anything with us to be able to stay down at the bottom but yet we just kept hiking further down, it was pretty stupid. We ran out of water half way up to the top, my dad's knee went out, people gave us worried and judgemental looks. I've never been so tired in my life. We lived though

Glad you guys were all right. My dumbass was venturing near a cliff that clearly stated "STAY AWAY FROM EDGE" (or something to that degree) So I definately approached as far as I could to look over without falling. Thats when the gust of wind departed me from my beloved lid.

 

Guess im not the sharpest bulb on the tree

Understandable though The canyon probably collects hats by the thousands each year.

[SUXBNME 1,364]

It actually made me a little misty eyed.

I would have it speak from the rain forest, or somewhere else that had more genuine indigenous people living there who the earth probably likes better. Or maybe the Marianas Trench (which is the deepest part of the ocean) or Mount Everest (which is the tallest mountain on earth). I don't want the earth to sound like a tourist. It should sound earthy and rough.

Like Siouxsie's cooter?

yeah, i'm sure the cannibals and head shrinkers are "better people" simply because they don't use gasoline engines.

I think I need to go take a huge steamy poop before I shart myself and get foop all over.

[frank 2,173]

When there's lightning - it always bring me down

Cause it's free and I see that it's me

Who's lost and never found

I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light

But it was cold - I lost my hold

To the shadows of the night

 

There's no sign of the morning coming

You've been left on your own

Like a Rainbow in the Dark

 

Do your demons - do they ever let you go

When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside

Is it someone that you know

You're a picture - just an image caught in time

We're a lie - you and I

We're words without a rhyme

 

There's no sign of the morning coming

You've been left on your own

Like a Rainbow in the Dark

 

When there's lightning - it always brings me down

Cause it's free and I see that it's me

Who's lost and never found

Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air

But it's fear - and you'll hear

It calling you beware

 

There's no sign of the morning coming

There's no sight of the day

You've been left on your own

Like a Rainbow in the Dark

That pretty much sums it up, doesn't it

[Concrete Charlie 0]

the crying Indian commercial came to mind right away. The poem is a bummer, but may be true, sad.

I prefer to think of the earth making a giant 'face' on the sea surface out of water, looking out, speaking to us before the last heartbeats go out: "cool it everyone, you're bringing me down....i WILL kill ya if you don't stop."

I didn't think of that, but I'm glad you did.
